Lake Van is famous for a legendary monster that supposedly stalks its depths, but the eastern Anatolian lake might also be a destination for close encounters of the third kind after a local reporter claimed to have spotted a UFO today while on a stroll around the lake.

The reporter, Murat Çurku, said he was walking around the lake to take photographs when he noticed an object in the distance that altered its shape. He snapped several pictures of the cloud-like object until it disappeared from sight.

“I have never seen anything like this,” Çurku told Doğan news agency. “I was shocked. I don’t know what the object was, but I can say that it looked like an UFO.”
